Schwarzwolf are planting trees SCHWARZWOLF COMPENSATE FOR THE CARBON FOOTPRINT!

How do we achieve this? First, we calculated the carbon footprint of each product separately. This is a number expressed
in gCO e. We used the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology of the worldwide organization ECOACT. We decomposed each

During the production and transport of goods, greenhouse gases are released into the air. Examples are Carbon dioxide CO , product, including packaging, into the individual materials from which it was made, and weighed each one separately. We also

Nitrous oxide N O, Ozone O , Methane CH , Freons CFC and many others. The concentration of these gases in the atmosphere measured on maps how many kilometers Schwarzwolf products has to travel either by boat, train, car or plane. Taken together,
